Chapter 360

“Ouch…” Eliana let out a muffled groan.

Maurice used too much force and she was afraid he would crush her bones.

“You’re hurting me! Let me go!”

Eliana struggled hard, but her efforts were obviously futile.

“Is this ring for Eli?”

Maurice felt like his body was on fire.

“Maurice, calm down. This ring is for Eli, but it isn’t what you think. He returned your ring to me the last

time. Shouldn’t I be thanking him? This is a lucky ring to make up for him.”

Eliana tried to explain patiently, despite the pain in her arm.

However, the outcome was not as she had hoped. Her words just enraged Maurice even more.

A lucky ring? What a lucky ring!

He had never seen this woman so bothered before when he lost the ring. She didn’t even immediately

help him look for it.

Eli simply returned the ring that had originally belonged to Maurice. And this woman was eager to

express her gratitude, even making a ring for him.

The more Maurice reflected on it, the more enraged he became.

“You are so daring, Eliana! How dare you use the company’s tools for your personal affairs? I’m going

to punish everyone who worked on the ring for you. The man a while ago is named Leif, right?

Everyone who helped you will be fired, including him,” he exclaimed without thinking.

“Maurice, you are so unreasonable!”

Eliana’s expression changed. She could compare Maurice to a childish and crazy child who lost his

temper when he didn’t get his favorite toy.

“If you believe I’m being unreasonable, then I’ll show you how unreasonable I am!”

Maurice took the ring and aimed to throw it away.

Eliana was suddenly scared out of her wits. All of her efforts would be for naught if he threw it. How

could she find the small ring in such a big place?

“Give me back the ring! Maurice!”

Eliana rushed up to grab the ring, but Maurice didn’t let her touch it. He immediately raised the ring

above his head.

Of course, Eliana couldn’t reach the ring in Maurice’s hand because he was much taller than her.

Eliana jumped directly onto Maurice’s body out of desperation. Her feet slipped. As a result, the two of

them fell backward together, and the ring fell to the floor.

“Ah!” Eliana screamed in terror.

The moment they fell, Maurice subconsciously wrapped his arms around her waist and lay beneath her.

In fact, Eliana fell into Maurice’s arms rather than on the floor.

“Ouch!”

She almost burst into tears when her nose hit Maurice’s hard chest.

This abrupt change brought the tense atmosphere to a halt.

Maurice’s anger was dispelled in an instant as he gazed into Eliana’s watery eyes and held her soft

body. He even blurted out flirtatious words.

“How come you’re still aroused during your period?”

Eliana was taken aback when she heard that. Why had this guy’s mood suddenly changed?

She looked down and realized that she was in Maurice’s arms and that they were in a very intimate

position.

Her face flushed. She then tried to get up.

Maurice, on the other hand, would not let her succeed.

He wrapped his arms around her waist again. He held her even more tightly this time. Eliana’s entire

face was pressed against Maurice’s chest as the two got closer.

“Maurice! You…”

Eliana struggled to raise her head to scold him.

Suddenly, the sample center’s door opened.

“You… What are you doing?”

Harriet stood outside the door, her expression stiff and her face pale.

Harriet went out to look for Maurice after the meeting, but she didn’t expect to see this scene.

She felt her blood pressure rise and her head spin for a brief moment.

“What’s up?”

Meanwhile, Maurice showed no trace of panic at all. He was so calm. He didn’t even take a glance at

Harriet.

Harriet gritted her teeth, trying to keep the jealousy in her heart at bay.

“Mr. Moran, the senior leaders of the Stone and Moran families are leaving, and your grandfather is

asking you to see them off together with him.”

Still lying in Maurice’s arms, Eliana was totally confused.

If Maurice wasn’t going to get up, he should at least let her do so. Why was he speaking to Harriet

while they were in that position?

It… It was so fucking embarrassing.
